white, anterior and middle tibiae and tarsi banded with black. Forewings 

 rather elongate-triangular, costa slightly arched, apex rounded, hindmargin 

 oblique, slightly rounded ; clear ochreous-white ; markings fuscous suffused 

 with black, sharply defined ; a fascia from base of costa to inner margin 

 before first line, narrow on upper half, irregularly dilated on lower ; a small 

 spot on costa at ^, and a sinuate erect mark on inner margin at -f , indicat- 

 ing margins of first line ; orbicular and claviform represented by a large 

 irregularly trilobate spot, connected anteriorly with a small spot on costa 

 at i ; a small spot on costa slightly beyond middle ; a small spot on inner 

 margin beyond middle ; reniform represented by an obtusely angulated 

 linear mark, angle directed towards base ; anterior margin of second line 

 indicated on costa by a small mark ; space between second line and hind- 

 margin wholly blackish, except the irregular white subterminal line, which 

 is broadly interrupted above middle ; cilia white, with a basal row of dark 

 fuscous spots. Hindwings 1J, grey- whitish, hindmargin suffused with 

 grey ; cilia ochreous-whitish, with a grey line. 



Immediately known by the strongly contrasted and sharply defined
